I am informed by the receivers of the two first- named banks that while the process of closing up the business will be slow there is a reasonable certainty of depositors being paid in full. An examination of the State Trust and Savings bank of West Superior, made by myself on the uth day of February, iS97, showed that its capital was impaired to an extent which seriously jeopardized the interests of depositors. 1 therefore gave the notice required by law to the officers in charge to make good such impairment. On the 14th day of February it wcut into the hands of a receiver. The Commercial bank of Eau Claire suspended during the panic of ISfjy, but reorganized by the depositors taking stock to the amount of 25 per cent, of their deposits.

The continued dopres- and financial-circles, together with unbusinesslike management, caused it to close its doors ou January 'From information received through the courtesy of the oflicials in charge, I infer Deimi 1 V.mliVuig and loan associations.
